Step inside Ramsay’s Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay at Harrah’s Las Vegas and the energy hits you immediately. It’s casually warm, exactly how you’d imagine the chef’s own kitchen would be. Start at the raw bar with oysters and a glass of wine, then settle into the dining room, where you can watch the team work through the open kitchen.
Ramsay has several restaurants in Las Vegas, ranging from fine dining to burger joints and a fish and chips stand at The Linq Promenade, but this destination feels distinctly personal. It’s not a television set piece like Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen; instead, it pulls together flavors from his global travels, where refined technique meets straightforward British comfort food, with detours through Asia and the Mediterranean.
The meal unfolds like a Ramsay greatest hits tour. Start with tuna tartare dressed in chili garlic soy, sour cream, avocado and wonton crisps, or the jumbo lump crab cake with citrus herb aioli. Beef carpaccio arrives topped with horseradish panna cotta, cured egg yolk, artichoke chips and English mustard sauce, a dish that balances richness and brightness without feeling heavy.
Then comes the centerpiece: Ramsay’s signature beef Wellington, filet wrapped in puff pastry and mushroom duxelles, served with potato purée, glazed baby root vegetables and red wine demi-glace. It arrives medium rare, golden and inviting. Technically precise and visually dramatic, it’s the kind of dish Ramsay’s built his reputation on.
But that’s not the only star on this table: Pan-seared scallops pair with orange-glazed pork belly, pomegranate and apricot purée; crispy salmon comes in a green coconut curry sauce with sticky rice and Thai apple slaw; and braised short rib, pictured, comes with crispy onion straws. Vegetarians aren’t an afterthought: an elote risotto or maitake mushroom with char siu butter and miso aioli could anchor any meal.
For dessert, Ramsay’s sticky toffee pudding—warm sponge cake drenched in toffee sauce, paired with vanilla ice cream—makes clear why, as far as celebrity chefs go, Ramsay is in his own constellation.
Ramsay’s Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay is an invitation to sit down and taste the dishes that shaped the celebrity chef’s career. From London kitchens to television screens to this bustling room, this is comfort food with a Michelin pedigree.
